Paso 1
1
Dry cakes: this can be the result of an oven that is too hot; you may need to calibrate your oven and bake at a lower temperature. It could also be that you left your cake in the oven for too long. Alternatively, this may be caused by too much flour in the batter or using too much baking powder.
Paso 2

A cake with a sunken center: This can be caused by having too much liquid or an oven that is too cold. It may result from opening the oven too many times during baking, causing the temperature to drop. Try to wait until the cake is completely cooked before opening the oven door.
